zenn bites...

zombie zenn reporting to blogger *salute*

it has been a crazy week preparing for MILK Golf 2005, full of late nights, headeggs, muscle aches and dark eye rings (i have eyebags lor - i NEVER have eyebags! argh).

and i'm still ill *coughcough snifflesniffle*

yesterday was stressful, but also loads of fun. all went well, if i may say so myself. *phew* there were some hiccups along the way, but in the end, what's most important is that the guests had good time, and i think they did.

many thanks to my wonderful colleagues angela and ee ling, to the wonderful ah hock who helped me out so much (even with the bai kah), to my wonderful MILK and MILK Golf committee, and to ang and eng tat who were my wonderful photographers (you all took better photos than the two supposed professionals lor!!!).

i'm so glad it's all over.

and isn't it wonderful that i'm back at work at 9am this morning? ok...i was late...9.30...but STILL?!?!

that's why i'm a zombie, and that's why i only use 'wonderful' coz my brain not working i can't think of alternative ways of describing things.

anyway, long-awaited photos coming up next! think everyone has already seen many of them, but ah well, here's my two cents worth on the friends stuffs that happened before i got all tangled up with the golf!


6th august 2005

on this day, we celebrated gracie's birthday with an atas picnic at the botanic gardens. i was the ahmad and, after picking feng up, the three of us went grocery shopping at carrefour, where we ended up with $150 worth of grocs - ham, bread, wine (atas ok!), drinks, bangers&mash etc......

and 120 eggs. (ah sometimes i amaze myself with my clever auntie ways. haha if you haven't heard of the tale of how we ended up with 120 eggs, just ask heh)

we eventually got to the botanic gardens at around 4.30pm (1 and a half hours past the scheduled time - but it wasn't coz we tu ok! haha)...it was sunny, it was green, there were lotsa food, and it was such a nice change from the usual shopping-centre-restaurant-foodcourt routine.




gracie and daniel went to pak tor just as we wanted to cut cake...we waited and waited and waited before they returned......

can take their time hold hand saunter saunter kiss kiss somemore...we waited damn long ok! haha

we got the cake cut (the design abit ugly coz the people at da paolo did a shoddy job piping the words, but the cake was yum). so yum that gracie didn't want to share and slowly savoured hers while poor feng, deb and bernz looked on...

nah...gracie's not so evil...she's the care & share queen! oh and must note the atas flower serviette that the cake is wrapped in ok!

we left after it turned dark and all the hot and sticky people went home to shower and change before we headed to cine k-box for some singing. helly and bernz had lots of fun with the kids, and the kids had a field day playing around and peeping out from everywhere:

after 4 hours in that little room, we headed to zouk for a heart-thumping workout with agnelli and nelson!!!!!! they are absolute GODS and we danced danced danced the night away. it was impossible to leave early coz they played track after track of heavenly music.

with achey bodies and blurry eyes, we ended up at spize for a quick supper...was so super duper stoned......



8th august 2005

actual birthday of gracie and bennybenben! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

we bravely went forth with bennybenben's wish to have dinner in JB - 5 cars, 18 people, we set off 2 hours late, and there was 1 big jam at the causeway.

but all's good. the matricons had thumping music, 4 giggly girls and one ian driving. plus ah hock the prostitute trying to sell himself from the window...

the restaurant had cheap, yummy food - just what the doctor ordered for hungry singaporeans! and in true photowhore fashion, we hung around outside the restaurant standing in circles and taking photos - some things never change, no matter which country you are in.

loon had a lightbulb moment that none of us girls could reach, and aiyo, doesn't ian look all hunky and "i have four girls nehnehnibooboo"!

then the kings of the photowhores took over my camera:
and thereafter terrorized gracie and me...

as if that's not traumatic enough, the thing appeared at the causeway on our way back, and almost ate up our passports!!!


9th august 2005

"count on me singapore, count on me siiiiinggaaaaapooooorrreeeee" *wave flag*

i went into office to clear abit of work before xiang came by to pick me up and we spent a quiet late afternoon at the club with tristan.

thereafter, tristan dropped me off at swissotel the stamford, where i met up with the rest of the guys at new asia bar for a redred national day celebration!

i missed watching the flypast from up there, but saw the planes when i was in the car. the fireworks weren't as spectacular as they should have been, coz of the angle we were at, but it's still worthy of our ooohs and aaahhs.

shot glasses in hand, we all sang a rousing "happy birthday singapore" before drinking a nice, red shot of pain killer (thanks ang!) each *slurp*

i then got even redder after i drank some beer with ah chuan, but i think benny had it worse - the poor boy turned so red i thought he was going to explode.

we closed the eventful national day holiday with a yummy bah chor mee meal at the food place beside allson hotel, then headed home for a much-needed rest.

-----
i wish i can head home for a rest RIGHT NOW!!! rah......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

p.s. i took 3 hours to piece the photos and write this entry haha guess that's my morning at work done! shhh don't tell!
